Persimmons can be eaten fresh, dried, or cooked. They can be added to salads, desserts, smoothies, or used as a topping for yogurt or oatmeal. Dried persimmons are a popular snack in many cultures. The fruit can also be used in baked goods like cakes and pies, or in savory dishes such as salads or stews. In some regions, persimmon is even used to make jams, jellies, or persimmon paste.
